SEATTLE — The sound of crashing glass has become too familiar at Sandia, a Mexican restaurant in Seattle's Laurelhurst neighborhood on NE 45th Street. 

"As of today, now we have been broken into five times," said Nathan Yeager, the owner. 

In the surveillance video provided to KING 5, you can see criminals break the front door with a crowbar, climb over the counter, steal money from the till, and then sneak around while looking in every door for something to take.

"People are just breaking in our windows blatantly, stealing nothing. I mean, they're really getting away with nothing," Yeager said. 

Recently, someone broke in and took their elevator key box, which costs around $2,000 to repair and install. 

Yeager said they are now out $10,000 for the repeat break-ins.
